	1. George's Scientific Prowess

**Author's Note:**

  * For [skyofblue_seaofgreen](https://archiveofourown.org/users/skyofblue_seaofgreen/gifts).



> I learned on Quora that, within themselves, Paul was called "Macca," George was called "Harry," John was called "Johnny" or "Lennie," and Ringo was just simply called Ringo. However, I refuse to use "Johnny." I hate that name.
> 
> Also, I'm going to try to use British spellings and terminology in here. If you see any mistakes in my British spelling, let me know in the comments and I'll fix it.

**JUNE 1966**

George gazed at his newest project with tears in his eyes. Finally, after five long and hard years, it was finished. It had taken a full year of research to figure out how to begin his search for materials. He spent four more years building the final product (and tweaking it some after the first model was complete). During those four years, George had travelled all over the world for the best items to build this machine that he had designed himself, taking advice from some scientists he got in touch with from MIT in the United States. He had to ask Brian many times for multiple-week holidays in order to work on the project, much to the annoyance of the manager and his bandmates. Now that it was finally finished, he was ready to show off his scientific prowess to his best friends.

Locking the door to the shed that he hid the machine in, he went out of his backyard after saying goodbye to his new wife, Pattie Boyd, and he started running to the nearest train station as if his very life depended on it, trying and failing to avoid the inevitable throng of fans who swarmed around him and shrieked his name so loud that George was nursing a pounding headache by the time he managed to get in the train from Woking Rail to the Waterloo Railway Station. He just hoped that his friends wouldn’t mind his tardiness.

Meanwhile, at the studio, John, Paul, and Ringo were waiting for their friend to arrive so that they could start their recording session.

“What’s takin’ Harrison so long? He should’ve been here thirty minutes ago!” said John irritably, his Liverpudlian accent more defined than ever. 

“Calm down, John. Harry lives pretty far from here, all the way in Surrey,” said Paul defensively, “and you can’t forget about the fans.”

“Yeah, Lennon. Give it a rest,” said Ringo. He was setting up his cymbals when they heard a crash and a set of frantic footsteps.

The three Beatles whipped their heads around to see George clumsily running in. He accidentally ran into John, who was knocked into Ringo’s drums. John felt very suffocated as George fell on top of him. Paul and Ringo just stood there with their mouths hanging open in awe of what happened.

“Shite!” John exclaimed, looking at his torn trouser leg. “Macca, get the first aid kit. It should be here somewhere. And Harrison, get the fuck off!”

“Sorry,” George mumbled, jumping off of his bandmate like he was hot iron. “Here, let me help you up.” Holding out his hand, he felt John grab it. George pulled him up and helped him settle into Ringo’s drum stool. Paul came back with bandages and a new set of trousers, and George stood back as he watched his friend disinfect the wound while John shouted some even more profane things in his agony. After John’s knee was wrapped in the bandage, Paul helped him change into the new set of trousers he brought. George turned his head and saw that Ringo was busy cleaning the blood off the cymbal which fell onto John’s knee. The lead guitarist hung his head in shame, mentally berating himself for not being careful. They were lucky that the cymbal wasn’t damaged, or else they’d have to spend a good amount of money to replace it.

After the whole ordeal was finished, George received three sets of venomous looks, all silently demanding him to explain himself.

Sighing, George ran a hand through his mop of hair, his hand shaking a bit. Paul’s contemptuous expression softened as he noticed this. “You all right, Harry? You look a bit frazzled there.”

“Fans,” said George disdainfully. “They nearly choked me to death at Woking. Then, as soon as I got off the train, I was runnin’ a marathon to Jubilee, and now I’m here. If you lot’ll come to my house this evening, you’ll learn the reason behind my lateness.”

Nodding, Ringo replied. “Sure. Consider me intrigued.”

“Me too,” said John, holding a thumbs-up.

“Count me in as well,” Paul finished. “Let’s get recording, shall we?”

With unanimous hums of agreement, the quartet set up their instruments and began their recording session an hour later than they were supposed to due to George being late.

Soon, it was evening time, and the Beatles retreated to George’s house by the same route their bandmate took to get to the studio, albeit in elaborate disguises. Their disguises were proved successful, and by the time the lads got out of Woking and to George’s home, Kinfauns, the Beatles were exhausted. George took out his keys and unlocked the door, letting his bandmates in before going in himself.

“Hi!” George heard his wife saying as he hung up his jacket. “What brings you here?”

“Hello, Pattie,” Paul greeted politely. “George brought us here to show us something, but I don’t know what.”

“I’ll get you some tea. You just sit here and make yourselves at home.” As Pattie left, George joined his friends in the sitting room.

“So?” John asked. “What’s the big secret?” As George opened his mouth to answer, he heard Ringo whispering to Paul, “D’you think we’ll _finally_ learn why he took so many ‘holidays’?” He decided to ignore it and answer John’s question.

“I’ll tell you in time. It’s something not even _Pattie_ knows about,” said George with a conspiratorial smirk.

“What don’t I know about? Don’t tell me we’re keeping secrets _already_!” Pattie interjected from behind. Startled, George whipped around to find his beautiful wife carrying a tea tray with some biscuits. He gulped imperceptibly.

“Nothing too important,” George replied as smoothly as he could, wondering how in hell his wife brewed up their tea so quickly. “Just stuff between me and the lads.”

Pattie’s ice-blue orbs narrowed into slits. Then, she asked a question directed to the rest of the Beatles as George moved out of the way. “Are you _all_ like this? Keeping secrets from your wives and girlfriend?”

“Naturally,” said John, shrugging as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “There’s stuff that even my missus can’t know. Not even Eppy or George Martin are privy to what we lads discuss with each other. I made it quite clear to Cyn when we married.”

“Same here,” Ringo added, referring to his marriage to Maureen Cox just the year previous.

“What those two said,” Paul finished, alluding to his relationship with Jane Asher. George felt a slight pity for his friend since he was the only bachelor left in the band. _They’ll tie the knot soon_ , the guitarist thought. _They’re making plans already_.

Pattie sighed. “Anyways, enjoy the tea. I’ll be in the kitchen.” As soon as his wife was out of earshot, George took a seat on his armchair, poured himself a cuppa, and added two lumps of sugar.

“So,” George began as he started stirring the sugar, “I’ve worked hard on a project for the past five years.”  
  
John hummed in understanding. “Mhm. Go on.”

“And I think I can say now that I’m better at maths and science than the lot of you combined.”

At this, Paul shot up from his slouching position. “But, Harry…you didn’t even finish school.”

George smirked. “That doesn’t mean anything. I’ve made discoveries that not even Albert Einstein could have hoped to discover in his very lifetime.”

Ringo frowned. “Now you’re lying. I may be no scientist, but I’m quite sure that Einstein was a literal genius in science. None of us even finished school, let alone college. We didn’t even earn good grades.”

Paul harrumphed at that. “If you must know, I know how to write and speak in Latin and was at the top of _every class_ until I met _this_ bloke,” he said, jerking his thumb at John.

“Glad to be of service, Macca,” said John wryly. “Now, Harry,” John continued seriously, “You say you’re better than us at science and maths? Prove it.”

George’s smirk turned into a grin. “Gladly. If you’ll follow me outside.” With that, the quartet set their cups down as Ringo took a biscuit from the tray, and they headed to George’s vast backyard.

“It’s in the shed,” George explained.

“What is?” Paul asked.

“The project!”

George led his friends to the shed, and he let his bandmates go in before going in himself once again.

Starting to feel giddy inside, George hurried over to his project which had a covering over it.

“Presenting—” George ripped off the covering, “—the _very first time machine in existence_!”

The Beatles’ jaws dropped. In front of them, there lay a spherical piece of metal with a high-tech door. They could also just about see the inside of it.

Ringo let out a low whistle. “She’s a beauty, Harry. You named her yet?”

“ _Louise_ , after my mum,” George replied proudly.

“You’ve outdone yourself, Harrison,” John commented.

“Yeah,” was all Paul could say. “You have.”

Afterwards, there was a long silence. Suddenly, George said, “Come on, then. Let’s go in.”

The others nodded eagerly, and the four men entered the machine. There were four seats with seatbelts and a circular panel in the middle of it all.

“So, how does it work?” Paul asked as he sat in the left seat nearest to the door.

“You just punch in the date and the year. Simple,” George explained as he sat in the farthest seat on the right.

“‘Aight, then. Let’s go fifty years from now,” said John, who sat next to Paul and in front of George.

“So far?” asked Ringo, who sat himself next to George and in front of Paul.

“I actually want to go to 2020,” said George as he was rummaging through his pockets for the ignition key. “Same month, though. What do you say?”

“It _is_ a nice number,” Paul murmured absently.

“We’ll all be old an’ wrinkly with grey hair!” Ringo added with a mischievous grin. “I’d like to see how we look so far into the future. Maybe prank our future selves.”

John chuckled in agreement.

“It’s settled, then. Strap in, boys. I’ll, of course, be driving,” George told his friends pompously. Once everyone was strapped into their seats, George called out, “Ready, lads?”

“Ready when you are,” said Paul. John and Ringo looked to the youngest Beatle.

Grinning, George punched in the numbers and turned the ignition key, and the metal sphere, along with the Beatles, vanished.


	2. What the F*** Is a Coronavirus? (Uncovering Tragedy)

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> A whole excerpt is taken from John Lennon's murder page on Wikipedia, and the usernames **ringostarrmusic** and **johnlennonofficial** are Ringo Starr and John Lennon's real-life Instagram accounts. John's Insta bio is also taken from the actual account.

**JUNE 2020**

The Beatles braced themselves as they felt _Louise_ crash. Slightly dazed, George shook his head and unstrapped his seatbelt.

“You wait here. Let me take a look outside,” George told his mates. John, Paul, and Ringo nodded.

He opened the machine door and was greeted with an eerie silence. _What?_ Looking around, he discerned that they were in central London. George looked back and saw that they had landed in an alley right across from the House of Commons. What was even stranger was the huge poster on it. It had mostly yellow and blue colours, and it said this:

**WASH YOUR HANDS AND COVER YOUR FACE! PROTECT YOUR NHS!**

It had a picture of two hands in the centre being scrubbed by soap, and it also had a weird blue mask thing with small white loops on the sides to the bottom of the hands. Down the road, there was another yellow poster saying this:

**WEAR A MASK. WASH YOUR HANDS. SAVE LIVES.**

“What in bloomin’ hell is going on?” George asked no one in particular, his voice barely above a whisper. Retreating back into the alley, he turned around and went back inside the machine.

“Well? What’d you find?” Ringo asked.

Ignoring the drummer, George called up the telly system he placed into the machine panel and looked through the different channels on the telly.

“Harry! I asked you something!” repeated Ringo.

“Not. Now,” George gritted out. Finding the channel BBC, he sighed in relief, as this was the news show.

“Hello and welcome to _BBC World News._ I’m Reged Ahmad, and here’s the latest.”

“That’s a pretty bird,” John commented.

“Keep quiet if you know what’s good for you,” George responded harshly, even though he mentally agreed with his friend. “I’m _trying_ to listen and figure out what the hell is goin’ on, if you don’t mind.”

“You still haven’t told us what’s outside, mind you,” said Paul.

“Shut. _Up_ ,” George replied irritably. He focused all his attention on the screen.

As the newsreader started to read about what’s to come, and the four men started to repeatedly hear one word in particular: _coronavirus_.

“The fuck is a ‘coronavirus’?” John muttered, nonplussed.

“There should be a way to look it up, right?” asked Paul, looking at the others. “Maybe find a local library?”

George shook his head in denial. “No...I have a feelin’ that people these days don’t use libraries anymore. The chaps over at MIT showed me these huge things called ‘computers.’ Said that Alan Turing predicted that those huge things would evolve to become smaller. The panel here is designed to evolve with the times, hence the advanced-lookin’ telly.”

“Who’s Alan Turing?” Ringo asked.

“A mathematician and computer scientist who played an important role in developing theoretical computer science and is considered the father of artificial intelligence, they say. They also said he supposedly killed himself back in ‘54 and was a homosexual, like Brian. He got charged for gross indecency back in ‘52.”

Ringo looked pensive. “Interesting,” he murmured. “You’ve gotten very brainy, you know that?”

“I invented the machine, Ringo,” said George. “Of course I know that. Now, let’s see what futuristic gadgets this machine has provided us.” George typed in a code that the scientists at MIT made him memorize, and four black rectangles popped out of the panel.

“What _are_ these things?” Paul asked.

“Look, I’ve already turned the thing on. It’s easy,” said John, rolling his eyes as if he had used the thing for years.

“According to the computer,” George told Paul as he looked at the telly, which happened to be a computer as well, “it says these are called mobile phones. They’re like mini computers which enable you to communicate with other people or whatnot.”

“What are the little squares with pictures on them?” Ringo enquired.

“Apps,” George replied. “You can type words with the keyboard that pops up on the screen.” The guitarist looked at his own mobile and pressed the grey square with the gear on it.

“The grey square with the gear is the Settings App,” he told the other three Beatles.

“The pink and yellow and orange one is something called... _Instagram_?” Paul finished as a question. Then, “Maybe you lot should go on here too. You’ve got to make an account, it says. With a password.”

John was tapping his own mobile with his thumbs furiously. “All these pretty girls…” he was murmuring to himself. He was making a swiping motion with his thumb. 

“Need I remind you you’re _married_?” asked Paul hotly. John had the grace to blush.

“With a kid,” added Ringo.

John looked up from his screen with a raised eyebrow. “Don’t tell me you haven’t fantasised about pretty birds before, Ringo,” he said.

“We all have, John,” said George, his eyebrows furrowing. “It’s normal. But for the three of us who’re married and the one of us who’s engaged, it’s time to be loyal and devoted to the women we’ve chosen to spend the rest of our lives with, yeah?”

The other three Beatles grunted in agreement. Ringo held up an imaginary glass. “To our wives and fiancée!”

“To our wives and fiancée!” everyone else echoed. The lads clinked their imaginary glasses, and George went back to creating his Instagram account. His eyebrows furrowed once again as the app asked for a phone number.

“If you’re lookin’ for a phone number, you can find it in the Settings App,” John told them, as if reading George’s thoughts. “I’ve already made _my_ account.” The founder smirked proudly.

“Aren’t _you_ the technology wizard,” Ringo commented acerbically.

“I’ve got it!” George cried after looking up his phone number.

“So have I,” said Paul.

“Yup. Ready to go,” Ringo added, and the Beatles looked at one another.

“Who shall we look up first?” Paul asked.

“Oldest to youngest, yeah?” said John. Ringo nodded.

“Just search up my name, I guess,” Ringo told them.

“I found it, lads! It’s **ringostarrmusic**.” George cried triumphantly. As he was scrolling through the pictures, he started to snicker. “What’s with the sunglasses, Ringo? And the peace signs?”

Ringo shrugged. “I dunno. But Jesus, I look good. How old’m I supposed to be, anyway?”

“Eighty next month,” John answered without missing a beat. “You _do_ look good, man. Seventy-nine and still rockin’, am I right?”

George and Paul hummed in agreement. “You’ve got some birthday show next month,” Paul commented. “But why’m _I_ the only one makin’ an appearance? Where’s John and Harry?”

“Yeah, Ringo. Where _am_ I?” John repeated. He looked up at Ringo. “We…we didn’t have a falling out, did we?”

“Nah. That’s not possible. It _can’t_ be,” Ringo confirmed, making a dismissive gesture with his hand. “I don’t know. Maybe I’ve gone off my rocker. I _am_ gonna turn eighty.”

“Well, we’ve confirmed that we’re no longer together as a band, since it don’t look like we’ve got any concerts comin’ up,” Paul concluded with a sigh.

“A shame, really,” Ringo replied. “Not even a reunion concert?”

“Don’t look like it,” George answered. “John’s next. Let’s look ‘im up.”

“It’s **johnlennonofficial** ,” said John after a few seconds. “But the pictures are all black and white. Ringo’s pictures are in colour. My pictures also look real old compared to his. And who’s this black-haired woman I’m constantly posin’ next to? Where’s Cyn?”

“Wait,” George said in a tone which made the rest of the Beatles freeze. Trying to ignore the dread growing inside his tummy, he scrolled up. When he reached John’s description, he let out a shaky breath as his eyes started to burn. He closed them, took a deep breath once more, and opened them again. “Oh, God,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “I…I think I know why John isn’t makin’ an appearance on Ringo’s show.”

“What?” Paul asked, looking up from a picture of John and that black-haired woman laying in bed together with a bunch of signs saying _PEACE AND LOVE_ and _VIOLENCE ISN'T THE ANSWER_. George sighed and read the description under John’s name:

“ _Stories and updates from the_ John Lennon Estate _ & Archives. Quotes in John’s own words: ‘Imagine all the people living life in peace.’ _ John Lennon _Estate_. He’s…he’s dead.” George’s bottom lip started trembling. He hid his face in his hands and started sobbing.

“What?!” John exclaimed. “ _WHAT_?! Bullshit! This is sodding _bullshit_.” He pressed the circular button at the bottom of his mobile and started tapping his phone with his thumbs furiously again. He was heard muttering different variations of, “It’s bullshit, it’s _got_ to be,” over and over under his breath. George peeked at his friend from the cracks between his fingers. John’s face had a deep scowl on it, and it looked like a vein was bulging out of his forehead. After a moment, John threw his mobile against the machine wall and shouted, “GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!” His breathing was suddenly the loudest thing in the small sphere as the other three Beatles looked at him.

Paul laid a hand on his friend, who didn’t push him away. “What happened?”

John sneered. “Look up ‘John Lennon’s Death’ and you’ll find it, Paul. The app is called ‘Safari.’ Rich, George, I suggest you do the same.”

Paul’s face darkened, for he was only called by his name in the most serious situations. George and Ringo’s faces darkened for the same reason.

Swiping the screen and finding the square with the blue compass, he clicked on it and tapped a rectangle at the top of the screen. The keyboard (as the chaps at MIT called it) flew up from the bottom, and George typed in what John told them to. Then, he pressed the blue square on the bottom right corner and waited for the results to load. What popped up was a grey box which read “ _John Lennon_ ” with a mono-coloured picture of John with long hair, a long beard, and glasses on the right. Under his name, it read _Singer-songwriter_. Below that, in a white box, it said “ _Cause of death: Assasination_.” Below that, “ _Date of assasination: December 8, 1980_.” The last line read, “ _Place of death: The Dakota, New York, NY_.”

George had to fight his tears once more. Who would hate such a lovable guy to the point of _killing_ him? It was barbaric! His eyes trailed down to the words, “ _People also search for_ ” and saw the pictures of Paul, himself, and Ringo. If he’d been searching for anything else, he’d have snickered at Paul’s picture like he snickered at Ringo’s. He didn’t even notice that his own picture was also mono-coloured like John’s. Scrolling down, he found the title: “ _Murder of John Lennon - Wikipedia_.” He tapped the title, and suddenly, the screen changed and took him to somewhere else. A white screen with black letters appeared in its place, and in a bigger title, it read, “ _Murder of John Lennon_.” Scrolling down, he read the text:

> On the evening of 8 December 1980, English musician **John Lennon** , formerly of **the Beatles** , was fatally shot in the archway of **the Dakota** , his residence in **New York City**. The perpetrator was **Mark David Chapman** , an American Beatles fan who had travelled from **Hawaii**. Chapman stated that he was angered by Lennon’s lifestyle and public statements, especially about the Beatles being “ **more popular than Jesus** ” and the lyrics of his later songs “ **God** ” and “ **Imagine** ”. Chapman also said that he was inspired by the fictional character **Holden Caulfield** from **J.D. Sallinger** ’s novel _**The Catcher in the Rye**_.
> 
> Chapman planned the killing over the course of several months and waited for Lennon at the Dakota on the morning of 8 December. During that evening, he met Lennon, who signed his copy of the album **_Double Fantasy_**. Lennon left with his wife, **Yoko Ono** , for a recording session at **Record Plant Studio**. Later that night, Lennon and Ono returned to the Dakota. As Lennon and Ono walked towards the archway entrance of the building, Chapman fired five **hollow-point bullets** from a **.38** **special revolver** , four of which hit Lennon in the back. Chapman remained at the scene reading _The Catcher in the Rye_ until he was arrested by the police. Lennon was rushed in a police cruiser to **Roosevelt Hospital** , where he was pronounced **dead on arrival**.
> 
> A worldwide outpouring of grief ensued on an unprecedented scale. Crowds gathered at Roosevelt Hospital and in front of the Dakota. People in nearby buildings placed lit candles in their windows, and at least three Beatles fans committed suicide. Lennon was **cremated** at the **Ferncliff Cemetery** in **Hartsdale, New York** , on 12 December; the ashes were given to Ono, who requested ten minutes of silence around the world instead of holding a funeral. Chapman pleaded guilty of murdering Lennon and was given a sentence of 20-years-to-life imprisonment in an Upstate New York prison. He has been denied parole ten times after he became eligible in 2000.

Reining in his temper and forcing himself to not throw his mobile the way John did, George instead grabbed on a chunk of his hair very tightly. He clenched his teeth and bit his cheek so hard he tasted something metallic on his tongue.

“ _Fuck_ ,” he heard Paul breathe out, and George started. For as long as he knew him, Paul _never_ used the f-word. He used the words _shit_ and _damn_ sometimes, but _never_ did he use _fuck_.

“I wanna kill the sod,” Ringo muttered darkly. “Any chance I can find the prison he’s locked up at?”

George looked at his friend. “I think that’s the reason why he’s denied parole. There were fans who literally _killed_ themselves because John died. If fans went extreme one way, who’s to say they wouldn’t go extreme the other?”

“Damn you and your logic, Harrison.” George managed to smile weakly at that. He rubbed Ringo on the shoulder affectionately.

“I’m still here, you know,” said John. “Not like I’m dead at this very moment.”

“Sod off,” Ringo told him. “Now that we know one of us is dead, we need to figure out what the fuck a ‘coronavirus’ is. Shall we, lads?”

“We shall,” said Paul. Then, he blushed. “And sorry for the language.” John thumped Paul on the back with a smile.

“No need to apologize! Now you’re in the big leagues with swearers such as Ringo and I! Welcome!”

Paul just rolled his eyes, and everyone laughed, still unaware of the other tragedy waiting ever so patiently to be discovered within their small group.
